Tour de Cranky…
…began on Saturday. I decided to continue to neglect Steve and made my goal something that might be a bit more challenging. I’m going to try to empty this:
by the 26th. (iPhone included for scale – and I’m sorry the picture is fuzzy but if I go back out there with the camera and the bin odds are good I’ll be run over by Captain Crankypants and his Mower of Doom. In the interest of continuing with the good pictures and the blog and life itself I’ve chosen to post a fuzzy picture. ;o) )
That bin holds ALL my Spunky Club fiber – and I’ve been a member since late 2007 – not including the three or so months I’ve spun up over the past year. This makes roughly 15 months worth of fiber at 4oz/month which comes out to almost 4 lbs of fiber. Yikes.
I’ve already spun up the December 2007 offering of ‘Party Dress’ which is waiting to be plied as I type I think I can do this…do you? ;o)

That’s quite a goal. You can do it (if anyone can)! Will it all be spun as 2 ply or are you doing each one differently?

Thats a great goal. I’ll be rooting for you.

I’m betting you punk out and admit defeat before the end… or maybe I’m just saying that so you’ll get all riled up and think “I’ll show her!”
I’m devious that way, it’s all that book learnin’.

Do you have a cook and housekeeper? Maybe even a stand-in wife? Good luck. I’ll be watching your progress.

A noble goal! I think you can do it. Bulky yarn is quick. ;-)

I know you can do it! I spun 4 oz on Saturday and 4 more oz on Sunday. I’m working on today’s goal of another 4 oz.

But…but…then you’ll have to go get more fluff, and then you’ll be right back where you are now! It’ll never end!

Sure you can! I’m inexperienced enough to not understand how crazy this might actually be and so I’m figuring that you can do it. Just think of all the pretty yarn you’ll have and all the pretty pictures you’ll be able to share with us, your wonderful blog readers :)

Of course, you can do it.
RR will have to take over the cooking and laundry, but that’s a small price to pay for you to reach your goal.

I have complete faith in you.

Good luck! And beware Cranky McCrankypants. :)
woot! you’ll do it – and have a wonderful bit of yarn to play with afterwards. Can’t wait to see the result.

You go, girl!
I will cross my fingers that you stay both highly motivated and injury-free, just like all good athletes.

Oh yeah girl – you totally rock da spinning. :)
I realized today how much I have now that I’ve actually put (almost) all of it in the Ravelry stash Q. And I’m scared. Very very scared.
Anne’s last blog post..Who the Hell Pissed Off Tláloc??
I bet you can and Team Crankypants will be right there rooting for you. Can’t wait to see the colors!

And you can do it! Go Team Crankypants!

Good luck on ‘ya
I admitted defeat before I began and am not participating in Tour De Fleece due to the simple fact that I will not have access to Phaedre at Sirius Rising and will not Spin on a folding Kiwi that John may or may not be bringing (wrong ratios)
Tim D’s last blog post..Where do I start?
Go for it!! I’ll be cheering for you.

Woo hoo! That is a lot of fibre! Don’t blame you for not taking on Capt Crankypants with his Mower of Doom. BTW, if you need help spinning it all up? I’m right here! I can spin on the wheel again! :-D
lynne s of oz’s last blog post..Home again home again jiggeddy jig!
And are you going to try to get all of that on just one bobbin as well? ;-)
I think you can do it unless you want to spin it all up as frog hair.
Karen’s last blog post..Ten on Tuesday
That is quite an impressive goal, but I think you can do it. I know I am going to enjoy watching what you spin.
